In the beginning when the world had first begun, all the animals lived over here and all the birds lived over there and one day the animals decided to have a party.

Just to celebrate the world and life itself.

And no one was more excited about the animal story than Bat.  You know Bat, up all night; he is the perfect party animal.

So on the night of the party, Bat got all dressed up in his best party clothes, and headed down to the animal party.

And there was Zebra the bouncer, and Bat said "Hello, Zebra!"

And Zebra said "Hang on, Bat, where do you think you are going?"

And Bat said "Party!"

And Zebra said, "This is an animal party, Bat."

And Bat said, "Yeah, I'm an animal, look I got fur, I got teeth, definitely an animal."

And Zebra said, "You got wings, Bat.  You're not an animal, you are a bird and you are not welcome, off you go!"

Poor Bat.

He sat on the branch of this tree and he cried and he cried and his tears made the branch all slippery and he slipped around and oop!  He fell upside-down.  And he just hung there.

Until one day he heard about the birds having a party, "Yippee!"

He got all dressed up in his best party clothes and headed down to the bird party.  There's Eagle the bouncer.

Bat said, "Hello Eagle!"

Eagle said, "Hang on, Bat, where do you think you are going?"

Bat said, "Party?"

Eagle said, "This is a bird party, Bat."

"Yeah, I'm a bird, see I got wings, definitely a bird."

Eagle said "You've got fur, Bat, and funny little teeth, you are not a bird, you are an animal, and you are not welcome.  Off you go!"

Poor Bat.

He sat on the branch of this tree and he cried and cried and he slipped and he slipped and oop!  He fell upside down and just hung there.

He still hangs like that today.
